Partially agree with the likes of Hall and Gibson. I think we just have too many young lads in the back line who are not quite ready yet to be playing week in week out..you've got watkins, ben jones bishop, hall. Then you've go Smith who's meant to be playing at centre who's hardly ever played there which adds up to being a problem. I'm not saying get rid but they're just not good enough at the moment and need to be nurtered along.. some top class expeirience needs to be brought in asap

So are you saying McNamara is a better coach than Bluey?

Oh don't you worry, Caddick's cheque book will soon be out but only to sign Keef for Carnegie!

IMO we are light in the centres and need to sign an experienced international with some years left in him. Ablett is doing alright filling in there but cnt expect to do it any longer.

How many experienced international centres with some years left in them are there. And how many would you be willing to pay over the odds for because the are many teams that would be interested in a player of that description.

Leeds never lost at home to Salford at any time during the 80's.

If the chequebook isn't neccessary does that mean the signings of Senior and Ellis weren't neccessary either?

Of cause they were and I'm sure if the right player became available GH would be in there in a shot.At this time in the season I doubt any club would be prepared to sell their top players.

The right player (the current England first choice right centre) became available last week. Was GH in there like a shot?

Could they fit him in under the 2010 salary cap if they'd signed him without losing other players they hoped to retain at the end of 2009 (on the basis that Eastwood will be here in 2010).

He's decent player, but lacks out and out pace. Doubt he'd be at the right price point.
There's an experienced international centre at HKR that they might part with

Not sure GH would think he is the right player.Tony Smith also didn't as why else would he let him go.

Do you mean Chev if so I'm sure he'd jump at the chance of playing at Headingley again.Whether he would be our best option I'm not so sure.
